The boy who saw dead people is back, and this time he’s talking about the birds and the bees.

It’s been more than 15 years since Haley Joel Osment
uttered that famous line as the haunted boy in “Sixth Sense” and after taking a
break from the big screen, Osment is making a comeback-- and this time he is
seeing a virgin on the mirror.

From being Forrest Gump Jr. to his break out role as Cole
Sear, which made him the second youngest to be nominated for Best Supporting
Actor at the Academy Awards, Osment seemed on his way to a long and successful
acting career.

In addition to his follow-up movies Pay It Forward and
A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), Osment made regular TV appearances and even did
voice work for the hit Disney video game series Kingdom Hearts, but when he
turned 18, Osment took a break from Hollywood and headed to New York.

"It was always college. My mum's a sixth-grade
teacher, so it was never really negotiable. And luckily,

I wanted to go to
college, too," he said in an interview.

Haley studied experimental theater and graduated from the
NYU's Tisch School Of The Arts.

“You can only go to college at that time in your life
once, when you are 18, in order to sort of figure out what you want in your
life,” he adds.

Haley said having that college experience and a social
life that didn't revolve around Hollywood was absolutely crucial for him.

While Haley has been working steadily since graduating in
2011, his biggest role upon his return was in Entourage where he played the main antagonist Travis McCredle,
which for a lot of people shattered their childhood image of Haley.

In Sex Ed, Haley plays Eddie Cole, a down on his luck
teacher who lands his first teaching gig at an inner-city middle school.

He soon finds that his highly pubescent pupils are
receiving no form of sexual education. And though he isn't really equipped to
teach them, he's takes on the challenge of explaining “the birds and the bees”,
much to the chagrin of their parents.

But his biggest problem isn’t the students or their
parents—it’s himself.

How can a “virgin” teach Sex Ed?

It’s a fascinating role for Haley, as the former child
star now finds himself the “teacher” to a new generation of kids who are also
aspiring to be actors.

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) imposed strict measures and closer collaboration with ABS-CBN Corp. and SkyCable Corporation as a result of the mandatory conference held Thursday. The conference meant to address various issues and concerns regarding the protection of the welfare and development of minor “housemates” in the television program “Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) 737” (and as regards other concerns about self-regulation).

Such issues and concerns were covered by the Board’s 03 July 2015 letter sent to said entities alleging complaints or feedback coming from some parents as well as the National Youth Commission (NYC) in regard to, among others, the cable 24/7 version of the program and its regular free TV version over Channel 2.

Earlier, the Board also sent a letter dated 29 June 2015 asking ABS-CBN to attend the 09 July 2015 conference to consider measures on how best to protect minors in regard to the said program. Serious feedback coming from both the private and public sectors prompted the Board to incorporate into the mandatory conference consideration of overall theme and scenes placing minors in situations tending to compromise their naturally fragile personalities and for the entities concerned to explain their side.

Also in attendance were different resource persons who also wrote to the Board their concerns over the program: Dr. Zandro G. Rapadas of the U.P. College of Mass Communication and Ms. Arlene S. Lacson.

In addition, various resource persons were also invited to share their inputs and expertise to help and guide the Board and the summoned entities to come up with appropriate and comprehensive self-regulatory and remedial measures to address concerns such as mature or adult language, huddling close in bed, the lack of adequate adult supervision, to name some: Hon. Earl P. Saavedra, Commissioner of the National Youth Commission; Hon. Delia Hernandez, Executive Director of the National Council for Children’s Television; Hon. Patricia Luna, Executive Director of the Council for the Welfare of Children; Ms. Irma Valiente, Ms. Norline Jacobo, and Ms. Maribeth Casib from the Department of Labor and Employment-National Capital Region; Attys. Ryan Jeremiah Donato Quan and Jamie Ann Reyes of the Ateneo Human Rights Center; Dra. Georgina Gozo-Oliver of the Philippine Psychiatric Association; Sr. Ma. Consolata Manding, FSP of the Daughters of Saint Paul; Ms. Ma. Patricia Boton; Ms. Christine E. Gomez; Director Jose Javier Reyes; and psychlogist Fr. Filoteo Mangulabnan, S.J..

In an opening message, MTRCB Chairperson Eugenio Villareal addressed all participants, stating that the subject matter of the conference is beyond the show PBB 737 but is more importantly about the welfare and value of children and the family. Chair Toto also appealed for openness and initiative of all participants as he noted that we are all formators and educators and that we want our children to be people with character.

Different issues and concerns were addressed during the conference especially on the aspect of cultural sensitivity and how the show addresses the vulnerability of the minor housemates – which even include a 12 year old boy.

NYC Commissioner Saavedra addressed concern over the supervisory role of PBB 737’s “resident psychologist,” especially on the issue of sexual preference as well as the over-all psychological and moral development of the housemates. On the matter of the program’s targeted young audience, and citing an NYC report, Comm. Saavedra stressed that the portrayal of modern identity of Filipino youth is important especially that media has great impact to young people and that TV is a major source of information.

Resource persons from AHRC, DOLE and CWC asked if the show has protective mechanisms in place for the minors and if there are interventions for parents.

Veteran director and academician Joey Javier Reyes raised concern over the lives of the minor housemates after PBB especially in regard to stigmas and seemingly bad reputation that may plagued some housemates as a result of social media. Director Reyes then stressed the important role of media in protecting the lives of the children, making the media the new “Babaylan.”

ABS-CBN and PBB responded to all the issues and concerns raised by the resource persons and were very open to the suggestions made by the participants. ABS-CBN TV Executive Laurenti Dyogi told that they are mindful of their responsibility towards the housemates and have regular assessments of the show and that the housemates are undergoing regular sessions with the team and their psychologist.

From the long discussions and careful deliberation, MTRCB will now work closely with PBB 737 until the end of the show by imposing specific actions and guidelines to ensure that the welfare of the minor housemates are of utmost importance.

MTRCB has required both the network and the cable company to institute remedial and self-regulatory measures to ensure the protection, welfare and development of all participants of the show. This is also to make sure that housemates will not be engaged in activities and tasks which may be hazardous to their life and safety. Relevantly, the management and production team, with legal counsel, were active in contributing to the remedial measures contained in the order issued at the end of mandatory conference.

All story editors are required to undergo a Matalinong Panonood and audience-sensitivity seminar to be conducted by Chairperson Villareal on a rotational basis every Thursday at the MTRCB office.

An advisory at the beginning of each episode must be placed stating the following: “This program may contain sensitive material. Viewer discretion is advised.” Further, starting July 10, the classification rating of PBB 737 Gold will now be SPG with at least descriptors pertaining to “Theme” (T), “Language” (L), and “Sex” (S).

And to address the needs and vulnerabilities not only of the participants but also the audience, a comprehensive “closing-out” discussion by a subject-matter expert after the completion of every task or challenge in regard to the precise lesson, learning or virtue to be imparted shall be implemented. This is actually a reiteration of a best practice of policy formulated and tested after the so-called “Nude Painting” controversy during the last PBB season.

The MTRCB thanked all participants in the mandatory conference for their initiative and cooperation

Under extreme and
extraordinary circumstances, Sam Rockwell stars along with Rosemarie DeWitt and
Jared Harris in “Poltergeist,” a story of an ordinary family dealing with unexpected
house guests in their newly bought home. Set in America’s nondescript suburbs, the
young family-of-five move into a new home only to find it possessed by angry
poltergeists. When these angry spirits abduct their youngest daughter, Madison,
they recruit a team of scientists and psychics – including the clairvoyant
reality star Carrigan Burke (Harris) - to get her back.

Both “Poltergeist”and
the 1982 original give audiences a rollercoaster ride of thrills and fright
with a story about the abduction of a family’s youngest child by supernatural
and increasingly hostile forces. The rest of the clan then wages a gruelling
battle to get her back safely. But the
new film updates the story’s perspective, place and characters.

Unlike the
original “Poltergeist,” which was set in a comfortable economic time during the
1980s, this film is situated in the rapidly fading, disenfranchised American
ideal we know as suburbia. A rundown, cookie-cutter community of three-bedroom
homes, unkempt yards and chain link fences in an Illinois neighborhood sets the
scene for the unsuspecting protagonists, the Bowen family. It reminds audiences that life in suburbia
can sometimes be a long way from comfort and safety.

This startling
turn of events impacts all family members, especially Eric and Amy. Their terror and emotions are brought to life
by two of today’s most respected actors, Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt. “You kind of expect a father is going to act a
certain way in this situation,” says executive producer J.R. Young, “but Sam
Rockwell’s unexpected choices in playing the role feel especially honest. He's brilliant and plays this role with grit,
emotion, and humor. We're lucky to have him as the head of this family.”

Rockwell brings
to light the difficult circumstances this young family faces. “Eric is having a
really hard time and feels emasculated by losing his job, and that he's no
longer a good provider,” Rockwell explains. “He’s still clinging to a
materialism, which is why he does things like buying the kids expensive toys he
can't afford. His wife Amy is much more in tune with the disconnection in their
family, and how that affects the children.”

Sam Rockwell has
emerged as one of the most dynamic actors of his generation by continuing to take
on challenging roles in both independent and studio productions. Rockwell was recently seen in Lynn Shelton’s
“Laggies,” opposite Keira Knightley and Chloë Grace Moretz. He was also featured in “The Way, Way Back,”
Throughout his career, Rockwell has created memorable and diverse
characters. His film credits include
Tony Goldwyn's “Conviction,” “Iron Man 2,” “Cowboys and Aliens,” “Charlie’s
Angels,” “The Green Mile,” “Galaxy Quest,” “Seven Psychopaths” and “A Midsummer
Night’s Dream” are only a few of his long list of memorable roles to date.

Spirit hunting
starts when “Poltergeist” opens June 24 in cinemas nationwide from 20th
Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros
